  • What material for "DON’T PARK HERE" stickers?

    Posted by Graeme Speirs on 2 October 2006 at 11:35

    can anyone advise as to whats the best vinyl to use? you know the stuff that when you try to remove comes away in tiny pieces?

    have a customer who wants 1000 A4 stickers so help would be appreciated.

    cheers

    i know grafityp do a nice silk finished adhesive backed paper that is very hard to tear because i was looking at some swatches at signuk this year. so i would "guess" they will also offer a cheaper alternative too…

    another one would be europoint display, if they dont do it direct ide imagine their parent company "Paper Co" will do it.

    Hi All,
    The material is called crack-back, basically its self adhesive paper. Any paper merchants should stock it, ie. Robert Hornes & Mcnaughtons. You should be able to print onto it.

    I thought Crack-Back is the material with the backing paper slit for easy removal when cut into stickers.

    I think the material wanted is often known as Ultra-Destruct which is a thin brittle vinyl that breaks up when you try to remove it.

    yep.. crack back is easy to remove the backing with a slit…

    solvent inkjet is a solvent printer, not sure I would print onto paper with it and that sounds like what u want, paper-type stickers that break.

    I am now looking at A4 full size paper labels which can be bought off flea bay for £4 per 100 pack, then print onto them with a good desktop printer.

    yep.. good.. but watch out for water based ink where the first bit of rain will smear the ink.
